I'm inconsitent about that!. The laptop I am typing this on is a tool -- to get me on the internet, to print out service manuals, etc. I have little idea of what is really going on inside most of it. (one day perhaps...)

But on some older computers I could tell you what every last NAND gate and every last flip-flop in the processor was for. I could take you round the microcode. Those are the machines I repair for fun.
